"Amazing location. Perfect for exploring Riga on foot. Staff were really nice; and the bar and restaurant staff especially were very friendly and warm. The room was a good size and well laid out. Areas for improvement - the spa and pool were closed. We were only told via email a few days before arrival; but it wasn’t mentioned on arrival we weren’t given any other options or discounts as an apology. The tv in the bedroom only worked intermittently. Our room has no view whatsoever, it would be...

"Very convenient Old Town location with almost everything walkable. The hotel is old fashioned and perhaps a bit tired in some parts, but very charming. The rooms are big enough with decent storage, and the bathroom was excellent, although the shower over the bath might present a problem for some. Breakfast had a reasonable variety of hot and cold food, but some items were occasionally missing and the coffee machine was not particularly user friendly. Minor points not detracting from a good 9 day...

"Good value hotel in a great location near the 22 bus stops to and from the airport. On the edge of the old town so within walking distance of all the attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful, I paid 16 euros to extend check out from 12 to 3pm and there’s a room that you can store your luggage in. Although it’s a little dated this is a lovely clean and safe hotel. As a solo female traveller I would definitely recommend it "

The room is quiet, tastefully decorated and comfortable and the bathroom is modern with a great shower. Breakfast was nice and set us up for the day. We made a good choice booking this hotel, would absolutely recommend and will definitely return when returning to the amazing city of Riga "

"My stay at Dome Hotel was excellent! The staff are very helpful and welcoming. The room is incredibly beautiful, with a great light and stylish feeling. They have a spa available to use. It's in a great location as well. The best part was certainly the food however. The 5 course tasting menu (whjch had 10 different dishes/parts to it!) Was one of the best I've had, and it was more than filling! The breakfast was also excellent with pre-orders during the week and buffet on the weekend, with...
